Announcement: New York Post, 18 July 1870, 2.

“Mr. Emmet, at Wallack’s, continues his amusing personation of Fritz, the German emigrant, and is every night encored in his comic songs and in his curious performance on the mouth harmonicon.”

Review: New York Clipper, 30 July 1870, 134.

“At Wallack’s Theatre fair audiences have attended through the week, which attests the popularity of Joseph K. Emmet in his admirable personation of Fritz, the German emigrant. His songs and comicalities, introduced in the concert hall scene, have been nightly encored.”
